The Police have arrested a 31-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon under Section 324 of the Penal Code 1871.
On 26 October 2022 at about 3.35 pm, the Police responded to a case where a man had allegedly assaulted a 69-year-old man with a chopper along New Upper Changi Road. The man fled the scene before the Police’s arrival. The 69-year-old victim sustained injuries on his head and was conveyed conscious to the hospital.
Through extensive ground enquiries and with the aid of footages from Police cameras, officers from Bedok Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him within five hours of the reported incident. A chopper was recovered from a nearby rubbish bin and seized as case exhibit.
The 31-year-old man will be charged in court on 28 October 2022 with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon under Section 324 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries a punishment of imprisonment for a term of up to seven years, a fine, caning, or a combination of such punishments.
The Police will not tolerate such brazen acts of violence and blatant disregard of the law. We will spare no effort to track down such offenders and will deal with them in accordance with the law.
